Portsmouth's Treehouse Toys to celebrate Neighborhood Toy Store Day

PORTSMOUTH — Over 500 independent toy retailers from coast to coast are uniting to celebrate Neighborhood Toy Store Day on Saturday, Nov. 10.

This is the third year for this nationwide event. It hopes to act as an enjoyable reminder of the importance of supporting local independent toy stores and the value of shopping within the local community. It’s also an opportunity to discover what we believe to be the finest toys you can give your children in the market today.

“Our members are part of your neighborhood,” said Kathleen McHugh, president of the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association, the largest association for companies in the toy and children’s products arenas. “Local toy stores add charm and character to neighborhoods across the country and provide children with a wide variety of unique and quality toy options typically unavailable at big box stores.

"Retailers look forward to this special day as a way to celebrate with the community and the customers they value.”

“As part of the Neighborhood Toy Store Day event Treehouse Toys, Portsmouth will be donating 10% of the day’s sales to (H)EAT, the local charity that provides food and fuel to local families in need.” says Robin Souther, store manager. “We will also be awarding two lucky customers with $50 store gift cards.”

Products selected by the Toy Retailing Association as the Best Toys for Kids for 2012 will be highlighted in the store that day, as well as a collection of toys from around the world and many made in the US.

“We look for toys that motivate kids to unplug and get moving, build and design, investigate and discover...toys that fuel fantasy, creativity and let children enjoy the magic of play” says Kathleen Tutone, owner of Treehouse Toys. “It’s a win/win day for everyone with some fun too”
